For the most part, the blame has been on the man at the helm of the offense, Eli Manning. A quarterback is an easy scapegoat, especially a 36-year-old quarterback who has started to show signs of declining.
However, if one were to look at the tape from 2016, one would see that it was not Eli’s fault.
It was a multitude of issues that caused the offense to be one of the league’s worst. After all, not too long ago in 2015, the Giants had the sixth-best scoring offense in the league.
In Ben McAdoo‘s first season as head coach, he decided to make a bold decision and continued to call the offensive plays.
